Growing Up Boomer and the Twilight Zone Part 2

Watching TV was a big part of a Baby Boomers life and the Twilight Zone was the first of its kind. The Twilight Zone is one of the greatest tv shows of all time and most of its genius can be directly credited to Rod Serling. Each episode presents a stand-alone story in which characters find themselves dealing with often disturbing or unusual events, an experience described as entering "the Twilight Zone", often with a surprise ending and a moral. This two-part podcast is presented “For Your Consideration”

It’s no wonder that many travelers have become nostalgic for the so-called “golden age” of air travel in the United States.
But airline nostalgia can be tricky, and “golden ages” are seldom as idyllic as they seem.
